    I've witnessed the atrocious Muslims committed in person in Afghanistan

    Staring through the scope of my .50 and shaking my head in disapproval so the rest of my brigade knows I don't like what I'm seeing

    every yank who took part in afghanistan will say they "served in the middle east" despite the country... yknow, not being in the middle east. if you're going to invade a country on behalf of your empire i feel like you should at least know what part of the world it's in

    Depends on who you're talking to, some consider it as part due to cultural similarities. The ambiguity of what is 'the middle east' is part of the racism towards the area according to some of the middle east history classes I've had

    yeah and it's pretty culturally distinct, they just want to lump muslim countries together. it's as "middle eastern" as pakistan, turkmenistan, or uzbekistan. it's like saying austria is a balkan country

    most yanks seem to think afghans and iranians are arab, too

    After 9/11 the Bush admin coined "Greater Middle East" which was literally just every majority Muslim country more or less contiguous to the Middle East. Anything from Mauritania to Somalia to Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan. The former-most having a latitude west of Europe and the latter-most having a latitude going into India and China, being lumped with a geographic region that just means "near the east"

    the modern hardcore scene is pretty cool. there was a bit of chuddery back in the late 90s to early 00s but those assholes left or got their asses kicked or became similar to the punk rock MBA guy

    I actually just started getting into hardcore, but I’m a little less enthusiastic about it when I started interacting with the scene and saw how dogshit the politics are in it. How is the community STILL having debates about whether conservatives can be punk? Shouldn’t that have been settled in the 80’s/90’s?

    It was. This isnt a debate that's had by non posers. Punks don't post on reddit

    It's always the way, goes back to Dead Kennedys "nazi punks fuck off" and further.

    I think aggressive music will attract aggressive people, and bigots sure are aggressive.

    When the descendents put out a track celebrating Trump losing, all the comments were "keep politics out if your music" as if they hadn't always had political leanings in their work, and if punk/hardcore isn't one of the most politically charged genres.

    I think the actual scene is a lot nicer. Go to a show and people are mostly on the level. Look at online discussions and you're more likely to find the people who fight in moshpits and get upset that women exist.

    Keep at it! Lots of hardcore folk are sweethearts and I have met more good than bad from all areas of the hardcore spectrum!

    Reading that Reddit thread makes me hopeful because it means not all Redditors are completely lost. But many of the comments will probably be removed within a day.

    This guy got owned so badly, lol.

    Unfortunately there's definitely a bunch of "apolitical" chuds in hardcore as some of the most downvoted comments in that thread can show you.

    But did he witness the atrocities he committed or was he just spraying with his eyes closed
